Flaming Lips Version
And the silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's going to make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see (no reasons), 'cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be sho-o-o-o-own?
(Tell me why?)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why?)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why?)
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoo-oo-oo-oo-t the whole day down

The telex machine is kept so clean and it types to a waiting world
And mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen
Now, it ain't so neat to admit defeat
And they can see (no reasons), 'cause there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need, oh, oh, oh
(Tell me why?)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why?)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why?)
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoo-oo-oo-oo-t the whole day down
Down, down, shoot it all down

And all the playing has stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with the toys of war
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
That the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles
And the captain tackles with the problems and the hows and whys
And he can see (no reasons), 'cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to die, oh, oh, oh, oh?
And the silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload
Oh, and nobody's gonna go to school today
She's going to make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He's always said she was good as gold
And he can see (no reasons) 'cause there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need to be sho-o-o-o-own?
(Tell me why?)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why?)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why?)
I don't like, I don't like, (Tell me why?) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why?)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why?)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why?)
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoo-oo-oo-oo-t the whole day down
